Watchdog
Author: Richard Cordray
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197503012
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Every day across America, consumers face issues with credit cards, mortgages, car loans, and student loans. When they are cheated or mistreated, all too often they hit a brick wall against the financial companies. People are fed up with being run over by big corporations, and few have the resources or expertise to fight back on their own. It is no wonder consumers feel powerless: they are outgunned every step of the way. Since 1970, the financial industry has doubled in size. It is the biggest source of campaign contributions to federal candidates and parties, spending about $1 billion annually on campaigns and another $500 million on lobbying. The four biggest banks each now has more than $1 trillion in assets. Financial products have become a mass of fine print that consumers can hardly even read, let alone understand. Growing problems in the increasingly one-sided finance markets blew up the economy in 2008. In the aftermath, Congress created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Sharing the stories of individual consumers, Watchdog shows how the Bureau quickly became a powerful force for good, suing big banks for cheating or deceiving consumers, putting limits on predatory lenders, simplifying mortgage paperwork, and stepping in to help solve problems raised by individual consumers. It tells a hopeful story of how our system can be reformed by putting government back on the side of the people, to strengthen our families, safeguard the marketplace, and establish a new baseline of fairness in our democratic society.

Semi-Annual Report of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Author: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781507609781
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) presents this Semi-Annual Report to the President, Congress, and the American people, in fulfillment of its statutory responsibility and commitment to accountability and transparency. This report provides an update on the Bureau's mission, activities, accomplishments, and publications since the last Semi-Annual Report, and provides additional information required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank or Dodd-Frank Act). The Dodd-Frank Act created the Bureau as the nation's first federal agency with a mission of focusing solely on consumer financial protection and making consumer financial markets work for American consumers, responsible businesses, and the economy as a whole. In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008-2010, the President and Congress recognized the need to address widespread failures in consumer protection and the rapid growth in irresponsible lending practices that preceded the crisis. To remedy these failures, the Dodd-Frank Act consolidated most Federal consumer financial protection authority in the Bureau. The Dodd-Frank Act charged the Bureau with, among other things: - Ensuring that consumers have timely and understandable information to make responsible decisions about financial transactions; - Protecting consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts and practices, and from discrimination; - Monitoring compliance with Federal consumer financial law and taking appropriate enforcement action to address violations; - Identifying and addressing outdated, unnecessary or unduly burdensome regulations; - Enforcing Federal consumer financial law consistently in order to promote fair competition; - Ensuring that markets for consumer financial products and services operate transparently and efficiently to facilitate access and innovation; and - Conducting financial education programs. The Bureau has continued its efforts to listen and respond to consumers and industry, to be a resource for the American consumer, and to develop into a great institution worthy of the responsibility conferred on it by Congress.
